Sue 'em. Both of them. Small Claims (Magistrate) Court.

Obviously, you had some agreement to split the rent. You should sue them and bring into court evidence of the agreement and witnesses. As far as the damages, take pictures of the damages and submit proof that you fixed it (receipts, invoices, pictures of the repairs).
